“It’s worth the trip! I am a meeting planner and was checking it out for a potential board meeting. This hotel is something that Carteret County has always needed! The rooms are beautiful. No detail was missed in the décor. The bathrooms are very spacious and chic. The service in the restaurant was fabulous and the food delicious. It was only topped off by the view!”
